QUOTE(vearn27 @ Apr 15 2008, 04:36 AM) Currently I'm on Seagate's 7200.11 500GB 32MB SATAII HDD. I did swapped for an exchange unit within the first two weeks of usage due to some problem which I couldn't format the HDD anymore. Neither with Windows nor Format Utility with Windows BootDisk also failed ok.tQ for sharing ur xp.i think i will grab samsung.thanks all  . My currently unit work fine and some of the faulty problem may due to my SATA cable. I swapped with another cable thou and it runs pretty fine now.Frankly speaking, Samsung's HDDs do make me feel quite promising with it. Lower power consumption thus lower operating heat and noise. Some said performance wise only average, but that wouldn't be visible till we see the numbers on benchies I suppose. My 120GB Samsung Spinpoint SATA HDD still serve me very well till today  |

QUOTE(Kataro @ Jun 9 2008, 10:58 AM) SonicGear now have psu also? just know that... yeah...i'm suprised too.haha.. btw, as I cannot find the info for your psu, I can't really tell you whether your psu can support for your spec...so based on the limited info acquired, I can only recommend you to take true power psu with 450W to 500W psu as I suggest before...for your hardware safety...and for future upgrade too...  prelude23,300watt?get new psu...u need to upgrade ur psu sooner or later. |

QUOTE(geniousboy @ Jul 26 2008, 11:07 AM) just bought WD 500gb AACS for rm245. actual in windows =display hdsk cap x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024but the space available is only 465gb... i wonder where's another 35gb? that's quite a lot missing rite? or is it normal? ex : 500gb x1000x1000x1000/1024/1024/1024 = 465gb.

QUOTE(geniousboy @ Jul 27 2008, 08:07 AM) what formula is that? why must time 1000 and divide with 1024? no lar...ur space still there.not lost at all.just the different between decimal n binary reading.that means the bigger the capacity, the more space missing.. hardisk read in decimal Gb n software uses binary.. so when u read from hdsk,it will state 500gb,instead in windows...software will detect it slightly lower because of this different reading. decimal n binary rules missing Gb |
